Meet CTM Katherine Lent (scrapyardkath) Plus FREEBIE

scrapyardkath
I have been digi scrapping since the beginning of 2006. I love digital scrapping because I get so much done and save so much money. It also gives me the freedom to experiment and I think my style has benefited from that. (Click HERE to visit her gallery at ESS)
I’m a SAHM to my 5 year old Corinne, who is recently finished with her 2.5 years of Chemotherapy. She was diagnosed with with Leukemia at two and a half. I have been married to Adam for 6 years. I also have two older daughters from previous marriages. Annalea is 15 and Hali is 12. I love Horror and Sci-Fi TV & movies. I love music Progressive Rock, Gothic Rock and so much more, 80’s, showtunes, and even Bluegrass. I love gardening digi scrapping and Facebook!

Meet CT Member Pam Healy (PamPie)

photo_pam

This Colorado native began paper scrapping years ago, but when she latched on to her mother’s (designer Kay Eflin) enthusiasm for a new hobby, Pam quickly discovered the fun of digital scrapping instead. Although she doesn’t paper scrap anymore, her style leans towards the paper style with clean lines–all layouts are created using DIP10. Pam recently pursued a long-time dream to learn floral design and became certified as a designer. Pam continues to work for a library district where she’s been employed for 20 years. Other areas of interest for her are museums, local history, and ice hockey (as a spectator!) and visiting warm and sunny places where her husband, Austin, enjoys scuba diving.  And of course, she loves being an auntie to Tess, Noah, Lacey and Reese.

Meet Designer Ingeborg Katers and a FREEBIE

photoess2

I am Ingeborg (ikscrap). I am married, have 1 son, 2 daughters (twins) who are all teenagers. We also have a dog, a cat and 3 hamsters. I live near the water in a little place in Holland with a large garden where I can take beautiful pictures.

I feel inspired by almost everything when I design kits or layouts. I have been digiscrapping since 2003 and decorated my photo albums before I knew they called it scrapping.

In September 2006 I discovered all the sites on the internet and found wonderful friends. From that moment everything went fast, I joined a few CT’s and in January 2007 then I put my first kit in a Dutch shop.

I love to work with computers and be creative. I always have a thousand ideas. I love reading, writing and gardening. I find lots of things interesting and I never feel bored.
I hope you have some fun with my kits, I sure had fun making them.

Here are some samples of my kits:
